- Milana. Live Performance at GigSpace Performance Studio gigspaceottawa.com/milana-zilnik Saturday, June 22nd, 7:30pm
Tickets $15 (cash at the door or call 613-729-0693 to pay in advance by credit card) Milana is an emerging artist who has captivated audiences since her first stage appearance in Ottawa in 2012. A strong lyricist and composer in her own right, Milana`s style is reminiscent of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. Milana has since gained significant popularity online, especially on SoundCloud, a platform with more than 35 million users that is often called "Musical Youtube" or "New generation of MySpace". In January 2013, she became the only Canadian musician to receive the "SoundCloud Hero" status for being one of the most active and influential members of the SoundCloud community. An accomplished pianist and vocalist, Milana enjoys playing by ear, improvising and using whatever inspires her to create her own style of playing. She is known as an adept improviser, catching melodies on the fly and expanding them into her own creations. Soulful singing and complex piano melodies are Milana`s signature, but she embraces a variety of styles - everything from folk, blues! , opera, to her soft spots for rock and jazz.

dennisbrunton@rogers.com - LF 2 Percussionists Myself and my Egyptian guitarist friend have been working on a very unique project for a few years now. We call it Communicating Circus. It's difficult to describe our sound. No one has heard it before. Oriental progressive psychedelic folk rock is pretty accurate. Only originals, no covers. "Update" We've just found an excellent bassist, so all we're waiting on is you guys! We're looking for 2 talented and dedicated percussionists (must be able to play on a kit as well as hand percussions) so we can get gigging. We've been through a slew of less than reputable musicians who either didn't have the chops, or weren't dedicated (if you think you have the chops, then you probably do. but please be dedicated.). It's time that we find the people that this project deserves so it can take off for good. Please don't misinterpret any of this as excessive ego. We both just moved into a townhouse with a jam space. We have a drum kit. We have 2 crappy hand drums if you don't own any hand percs. We jam on weekends and whenever it's convenient during the week. Reply to this ad if you think you'd fit this project. We have demos.

equip.mngr@hotmail.com - Newly Forming Next Year, Premium Led Zeppelin Tribute. We are looking for an energetic frontman and someone with Keys experience. It is really hard to find a good Zep tribute...What we would be working on is attempting to re-create the song remains the same gigs in New York in '73 and much more live material. Consequently, the proper musicians would be needed to embark on a project as tough as this...Things probably won't get rolling until the right band mates are established. If you love Zeppelin and think you have the chops or the vocal range to tackle some live Zepp material then send us an email. However, this project won't get rolling until next year because our drummer is moving back here then. If you're interested please send me some recordings of yourself if you have any and we can keep this project in hibernation as a side project idea for us musicians until the time is right.! Thanks a lot.

larrydale46@aol.com - Myself and my Egyptian guitarist friend have been working on a very unique project for a few years now. We call it Communicating Circus. It's difficult to describe our sound. No one has heard it before. Oriental progressive psychedelic folk rock is pretty accurate. Only originals, no covers. We're looking for a talented and dedicated bassist and 2 talented and dedicated percussionists (must be able to play on a kit as well as hand percussions) so we can get gigging. We've been through a slew of less than reputable musicians who either didn't have the chops, or weren't dedicated (if you think you have the chops, then you probably do. but please be dedicated.). It's time that we find the people that this project deserves so it can take off for good. Please don't misinterpret any of this as excessive ego. We both just moved into a townhouse with a jam space. We'll have a full drum kit set up in early May. We have an okay bass guitar, an awesome bass amp, and 2 crappy hand drums also. We jam on weekends mainly. Reply to this ad if you think you'd fit this project. We have demos.

Tickets $15 (cash at the door or call 613-729-0693 to pay in advance by credit card) Milana is an emerging artist who has captivated audiences since her first stage appearance in Ottawa in 2012. A strong lyricist and composer in her own right, Milana‚s style is reminiscent of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. Milana has since gained significant popularity online, especially on SoundCloud, a platform with more than 25 million users that is often called "Musical Youtube" or "New generation of MySpace". In January 2013, she became the only Canadian musician to receive the "SoundCloud Hero" status for being one of the most active and influential members of the SoundCloud community. An accomplished pianist and vocalist, Milana enjoys playing by ear, improvising and using whatever inspires her to create her own style of playing. She is known as an adept improviser, catching melodies on the fly and expanding them into her own creations. Soulful singing and complex piano melodies are Milana‚s signature, but she embraces a variety of styles ˆ everything from folk, blues, opera, to her soft spots for rock and jazz.

James @ synthetic-darkness@hotmail.com - Well established and gigging rock band is looking for a rehearsal space to share with another band(s) in a secure facility. We want to be able to leave our equipment in place and not waste time tearing down and setting up. Although we rehearse one night a week, we'd like to be able to have at least another night open for us to work on material and recording. We have all of our own gear and we play loud. We are currently with a local rehearsal hall, but we'd rather use our own PA or a better one (if shared). We all have jobs and are very responsible and trustworthy. We are interested in taking over your space if your band is dissolving or can no longer use the space. Secure area is a must. Ability to alarm and monitor is a plus.

Nice to see all the 1993 t-shirts, a crowd that digs local music and a sound technician that is a master-craftsman. Elizabeth, you rock! Thanks to the staff and the fans alike, Milano's pizza on Dalhousie and anyone else that helped with the evening. Like Animals: good luck in MTL, Ottawa thanks you for an epic performance and tour stop in the capital. Cheers.
